Phalaris is a genus of flowering plants in the grass family. Species of Phalaris are distributed across all continents except Antarctica. They can be found in a broad range of habitats from below sea level to thousands of feet above sea level and from wet marshy areas to dry places.

Phalaris will grow on a wide range of soils, from moderately shallow, moderately acidic, sedimentary soils to deep, self-mulching, alkaline clays. Select varieties on the basis of plant type, need for summer dormancy, seedling vigour, phalaris poisoning potential, acid soil tolerance and local performance data (where available).

Identify the most common pasture grasses and legumes in New Zealand, including a few of our most common cereal and forage crops. To recognise different pasture grasses and clovers, we often use colour, leaf shape and texture, and seed-head morphology. Consider the following questions when identifying pasture grass groups:
